Novak Djokovic set a record for the most quarterfinal appearances at a single Grand Slam tournament, with 19 appearances at Roland Garros.

After his 100th French Open win, the 38-year-old said, “I feel good. I know I can play better. But 12 sets played, 12 sets won, it's been solid so far... It's great, but victory number 101 would be better. I'm very honoured... But I need to continue now.”

Novak Djokovic has a strong head-to-head record against Alexander Zverev, leading 8-5. However, their last encounter at the Australian Open semi-finals in January ended with Djokovic retiring due to injury.

Djokovic has dominated Britain's Cameron Norrie in their six career matches, winning every single one. Norrie, a former top-10 player now ranked 81st, couldn't capitalize on any opportunities against the Serb.
